We are still working on our Touch Screen project and have photographed several boxes of artefacts. As there are well over 4,000 items in our collection we still have a long way to go, so it is very much a ‘work in progress.’
One of the items we have photographed recently is the medal below which was awarded to George Sayer in 1947. George played in the Temperance Band and became the “All Britain Champion” playing Solo Euphonium as detailed below.
